Author and The Hill columnist Kristin Tate said Thursday that former Attorney General Eric Holder's apparent call for incivility against Republicans is "the new norm on the left."

"Seething hatred is the new norm," Tate said on "Fox & Friends First."

Holder told a crowd Sunday that he respects Michelle Obama but thinks that her phrase "when they go low, we go high" should be "when they go low, we kick them."

“This kind of violence-inciting rhetoric and seething hatred is the new norm on the left. And Eric Holder’s comments, they’re not an outlier. They’re just a symptom of a much wider illness of liberal intolerance.” - @KristinBTatepic.twitter.com/XPhtBcLqGM
